Creating A Hyperrealistic T-Rex Cake: A Roaring Good Dessert

Five-year-old me would have lost his mind for a realistic t-rex cake on my birthday. And, if I’m being perfectly honest, current me still would. And here to show us how it’s done, Natalie Sideserf of Sideserf Cake Studio in Austin, Texas walks us through her process of decorating a hyperrealistic t-rex cake to promote season 2 of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous on Netflix. Rawr!

The way the t-rex is able to stand on its own two feet and look so dynamic is impressive. This thing is so incredible I’d argue the only thing not hyperrealistic about it is its size. And, okay, maybe the taste. Of course, I’ve never had t-rex before so I can’t say that for certain.

For reference, the most elaborate birthday cake I ever got was a sheet cake from the local grocery store with my name spelled wrong. It also said Happy Retirement. You know now that I think about it that might not have been my cake.

Chewbacca Cake Is Soft, Not Chewy on the Inside

Check out this awesomely detailed Chewbacca cake that also looks a bit like Bigfoot. Hopefully it won’t taste like hairballs and make you cough up fur like your cat. Normally, I would be afraid of a Wookiee pulling my arm out of it’s socket, but I could eat this thing all day long and just laugh at how it can’t kill me.

This fantastic geek cake comes from Crazy Cakes and yeah, this thing is crazy alright. Crazy-delicious and crazy-detailed, that is. The hand painting is just amazing. You would think that a Chewie cake would be chewy, but I am assured that it is soft and tasty.

I want one for my birthday, just so that my family can sing “Chewie birthday to you. Chewie birthday to you. You look like a Sasquatch… and you smell like one too.” That would be sweet.
